Re: V-Picks!

I bought some V picks and I really like them too. I like the Tradition Lite (probably the only company that consider 1.5mm to be lite ;o) Although I got mostly the clear ones and they seem to disappear (harder to see if you drop them). The sapphire blue ones are nice and easier to see...

Re: V-Picks!

I have to try some of those smaller Tortex ones. I wasn't able to find my normal black Jazz IIIs in-store, so I went with the red thinking only the color was different...worst $5 mistake ever, they should know making slippery picks is a bad idea. I used to love the orange-blue Tortex, but after using the Jazz picks for so long, normal picks seem huge.

Re: V-Picks!

I just bought 2 V-picks, a Venom and a Chicken Picker. So far I like the Venom more than the Chicken Picker, but I'm not sure if it's really worth $5/pick. Ive spent the last 20 mins A/B'ing it against my regular Cool Pick and I dont really hear a difference but I feel one.

Re: V-Picks!

Personally I have pick add. I am forever changing picks and styles. I have gone through them all from a gross of tear drop jazz picks to M'nd picks of the 70's (polished agate), recently I was in a band that did a few songs that required very fast strumming so I toyed with turning my pick sideways ala Stevie Ray Vaughan. A few years ago I toyed with it but didn't like it. After doing it for these songs I found it very helpful in my playing. Now I use a medium plastic pick made for a local music store and I really like them. After awhile they start to mold slightly to your thumb. I have gone from thins to heavys back to mediums. A couple of years ago I got some nice Dugain acetate picks that last forever. http://www.dugainpicks.com/ But now I am on a new kick. I cut my own from that god awful plastic that no one can open that is on everything you buy! It's thin but doesn't break. It's a very, very fast pick! All I need to do now is find some thicker plastic, same type and I'll be good until the next thing comes along....
